We are so excited to tell you about our dear friend and style influencer, designer, and female entrepreneur…Heather Parker! Heather and I have known each other since 2002. We immediately hit it off when we met on a choir trip to New York. Over sushi, we talked for hours and she quickly became a sister to me and even lived with me for about 6 months. Her family comes from Native roots, and they are seriously the most wonderful, kind, and loving family ever! We sang together in the Saints United Voices choir directed by Gladys Knight for over 15 years. We always shared ideas for businesses over the years and just love and support each other in our personal and business ventures. It’s so nice to have someone close truly understand what it means to be an entrepreneur while still nurturing our families.

Hello Tribe! I can’t believe how long it’s been since I posted a “Fashion” Blog. The last one featured my Nike Air Force 1’s which I am a huge fan of. And since that first day of 2021, we’ve been lucky in our community that our children have had the ability to participate in sports. My oldest son plays Varsity basketball and one of the influences that being a basketball mom has afforded me, is my awareness of the importance of “Kicks”. My son is in full sneakerhead* mode these days. Not only does he appreciate Nike’s and wears them to dances, but he has started a business cleaning and restoring them! (Yes, proud mama moment!)

It’s time to move forward to 2021 and what better way to do it than with Nike. My first pick of this year are the Nike Air Force 1’s. But let’s step beyond the basic whites that have been the most popular in recent years and dig deeper for the Shadow (pictured) and Sage Low Top Platforms.
